The NBA All-Star Game kicked off Sunday the way it always does. Well, sort of. Players took the court, and fans rose to their feet to hear the singing of the National Anthem by famous pop artist Fergie. What everyone was not expecting from this performance, however, was Fergie’s decision to “completely reinvent it in the most insane and enthralling way possibly,” according to The New Yorker. Fergie sang a slower, jazz-inspired version of the National Anthem, which included a wide range of notes.

A teacher loses access to her e-mail after she is accidentally terminated. Disasters? Not with SMU’s IT Help Desk to save the day.

President Trump recently told Piers Morgan he isn’t a feminist, surprising absolutely no one. He did go on to clarify “I’m for women. I’m for men. I’m for everyone.” But why is he not a feminist? Merriam Webster defines feminism as “the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.” Nowhere in the definition are women mentioned, as the focus is equality between sexes. Is that not what President Trump described? Being for men and women?

As the month of romantic outings, cheesy gifts and cheap chocolate sales begins, it’s not unreasonable for an SMU student to wonder about the point of it all. Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, but it isn’t likely be much of an event. Students at SMU participate in and perpetuate their own hook-up culture. That is, there is less interest in long-term relationships between students and more in short-term flings. Yes, one night after coming back from Homebar Thursday counts as short-term.

Advanced terms

Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.

AND

Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Musk AND Zuckerberg or Musk + Zuckerberg.

OR

Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used). For example, results will contain either cake or cookie by searching cake OR cookie or cake,cookie

NOT

Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
NOT World.

Phrases

When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
4s".

Exact case matching or punctuation

If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .

Combining operators

Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.

Asterisk

An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.

Near

A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream".
